A Statement.

AS am the victim of various misrepresenta-
tions, rejecting upon me as to my position and
conduct in the recent railroad election held in
York township, avail myself Of this medium
to make general denial of such, and to place
myself properly before my friends and the pub
lic without referring to any particular statement
made by any particular Individual.
1st That am citizen of York township and
feeling that as ataX-paying citizen, (beng among
the largest taxpayers in the township, had an
unrestrained right, regardless Of my position as
Intendant of the town Of Yorkville, to free and
active exercise of my opinion as a citizen, and
in such to demonstrate my position by honora-
BILE act, word and deed.
End. That did not prostitute my position as
Intendant at the registration office to foster the
interest of the side of the question chose to af
filiate with and represent, to the damage Of the
opposing side further. than to secure fair and
equal divide of certificates to each party, and
any authority exerted by me was to promote
such end only, regardless Of any and all state
ments to the contrary. On this point will be
sustained by the Supervisor of Registration and
his assistants and any other unbiased and fair
minded person present.
3rd.,That after devoting my undivided ener-
gies, time and support, to defeat the opposing
side at the election in every honorable way
which suggested itself to me, and without
changing my opinion as to which side was in the
right upon the vital points involved in the mat
ter, accept defeat gracefully without feeling of
ill-will towards any one, and join hands with the
well-wishers of the enterprise and trust that the
brightest anticipations of prosperity for York
Vile, York township and York county, may be
fully realized by the building of the Charleston,
Cincinnati and Chicago Railroad.

that possess their disappointed souls. If
the Mormons should conclude to take the
test oath and vote after all, where would be
the fond anticipations of the expectant
bummers? How much of bill to take the
control of the Territory from the majority
and give it to the minority would the much
Wanted measure be? And as for its claim
of being antipolygamy legislation, that has
vanished with the obnoxious section on
which Tucker set his heart and Edmunds
set his heel. 1t is a bad bill which Congress
has accepted and passed. 1t is vicious in
many respects, subversive of both religious
and political rights. But it is not anything
like what was wanted by the leaguers and
their masters who have been rustling up
half dollars for the accomplishment of their
nefarious purpose. If the Mormons vote,
their money had been worse than wasted
and gloom will cover the conspirators like a
funeral pail. AS for the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints, the objects OF
the assault, it will remain unsurpassed by
this or any other infamous scheme that can
be concocted to cripple and destroy it,"

LETTER FROM FORT MILL.

FORT MILL, February 21.-This villain
Gus weather sends so many shivers through
peoples frames, that it is almost impossi-
BILE to hold pencil. 1t is not so very cold ;
but the dampness of the atmosphere is so
great that its permeative powers are insu-
perable.
Rain began to- fall about the middle of
night before last and continued, with short
breathing spells, up to late hour yester-
day. Hence the farmers are not jubilant
over the prospect of not ploWing for sever
al days.
I asked a QuonGlam farmer the other day
why people did not raise their own meat in
this country, so blessed in climate and re-
sources. He seemed very much hurt that
so plain sum in arithmetic should be put
to his solution. His reply was mournfully
made. He said it was not practicable; that,
if he gave dollar and ten cents for corn
at the depot, to be paid out of his crop, and
hauled it several miles to his home, and
gave negro fifty cents a day to pour that
corn into the hog trough, and had to lose
time from his other duties to see that negro
do his work honestly and effectively, his
pork would cost too much. This argument
was convincing. Arithmetic demonstrated
the utter fallacy of a farmer raising his
own meat. I was forcibly struck with his
figures, and went to bed, to dream of dsoves
of hogs and cribs of corn on the old planta'
tions of my ancestors. Were they mistaken
in having these droves of hogs and full!
corn cribs? Perhaps they were antiquated
in tl cir notions, and could not have pros
pered in these times.H Happy ancestral
shades 1t is we'll you were taken from
among US before you discovered the de-
lusion. I, .." ...
Yes, sir, it is impossible (not only imprac
ticable) to raise our own meat. If he raise:
his own corn at 40 cents bushel, feeds his
hogs in person without hiring and feeding
hand for the purpose, and gives them his
best personal attention, how will the result
pan out? He will have plenty of victuals
his stock will be fat; his wife and children
will be happy and healthy he will want M
credit; he can raise as much cotton as he
needs to buy luxuries and educate his chill
dren he can he independent of the lienee
and his home will be so bright with plenti
full supplies and happy faces that he woulc
be veritable Pluto not 10 be happy be

LETTER FROM CHESTER.

CHESTER, February PA majority. of

granted the petition, and appointed the
following managers for the election. l.

Sigmon. The commissioners had previous
ly granted the petition of the majority OF
the landholders of Baton Rouge township
last Monday the following managers of the
election: w. H. Wise, Jesse H. Hardin
and Martin Wade. The friends of the Ches-

ship have not been so successful. Their
petition for an election to vote a subscrlp-
tion of $4,000 has been met by counter
petition. The advocates of the opposing Pc
titon urged their respective claims before
the county commissioners on last Monday,
but the matter was undecided. There
were some legal points involved as to the
rights of landholders who livein one town
ship and hold property in another, which
the commissioners preferred not to decide
on that day. The friends of the enterprise
consequently withdrew their petition for a
time. 1t may be- presented to the commits
sioners for consideration and determina-
tion to-day.
An unfortunate accident occurred on the
plantation of Mr.. R. A. Love on last We'd
nesday. While his young son, Alexander,
and Thomas Gibson, the'sOn Of tenant on
the place, were hunting, the latter was
shot by the former. 1t appears that AL
exander was rapidly ascending hill when
his gun fell from his hands, discharging
the load and the shot taking effect in Glib
sons head The wound is dangerous, and
may have fatal termination.

been organized under the constitution, with
certain powers conferred by that instru-
ment in criminal cases, this jurisdiction be-
ing dependent upon the character of the
punishment to be inflicted. This, it seems
to US, is in effect confning these Courts to
such cases, and the General Assembly would
have no power to extend their Jurisdiction
beyond this constitutional boundary.
But it may be said that the Act confer
ring the jurisdiction on Trial Justices ne
cessarily-proprio vigor-reduces the pun
ishment of petit larceny to the limit men
toned, because the trial justice cannot, un-
der the Constitution, sentence beyond that
limit. This is met again by the case of the
State VS.. Williams, supra, which, as we
have said, decides that the punishment has
not been reduced, and consequently the
Court of General Sessions has jurisdiction.
So that if the two positions be correct, we
have the strange anomaly of the same Of
fence being subject to two different punish
ments, depending upon the Court in which
the prisoner may happen to be tried and
convicted. Upon the whole our conclusion
is, that trial justices, in the absence OF any
law limiting the punishment to $500 fine or
thirty days imprisonment for petit larceny,
are without jurisdiction.
1t is the judgment, therefore, OF this
Court that the judgment of the Circuit
Court be reversed.

A ROMANTIC STORY.
.SFron, the .Ne,us and Cburier.]


He was a descendant of the Kings of
France!
Col. James H. Rion, died at his home in
Winnsboro' S. c., on Sunday, the 10Th day
of December last. He was loved and re-
spected wherever he was known. An up
right man, an acute counsellor, profound
lawyer, a faithful citizen, superb soldier
and a finished scholar, his loss was deeply
deplored. He was all this, and if the story
which now appears for the first time, be
true he was much more, for in his veins
ran the blood of the Bourbons, and the
modest country lawyer was none other than
the grandson of Louis NVI and Marie An
An eminent South Carolina lawyer yes.
terday told reporter for the Neacs and
Courier strange story. Of Col. Rion's life.
IIe said:
"There has always been, as perhaps you
are aware, mystery surrounding Col. Ri
ons BIRTH He was very familiar with John
C. Calhoun during his early life, who took
a great interest in his welfare and was very
kind to him and his mother. They came
from Canada to Washington about the time
under President Tyler. There have been
many speculations in regard to Col. Rion's
origin and family and many rumors, and
there was always q recognized mystery
hanging over the subject. 1t was difficult
to account for the great interest Mr.. CAL
houn seemed to take in him. Col. Rion
himself always manifested great admira-
ton for Mr.. Calhoun and ever entertained
the deepest reverence for the illustrious
statesman both as public man and private
Citizen. Some have even gone SO far as to
infer from these circumstances that some
peculiar relationship existed between them.
1t is said now that Col. Rion exploded this
mystery during the few brief hours that
had interviewed ,tween the first .parox-
ysms which carried him off and his death
he lived several hours, as you will remem-
ber, after he was first attacked.
1.-THE story is that Col. Rion, then, in the
presence of DIR. Hannahan, his physician,
and of his entire family, stated that he
was the son of the Dauphin of France, who
would have been King Louis XVII had 1T
not been for the French Revolution, which
by the execution of Louis XVI eliminated
in the overthrow of the Bourbon Dynasty.
His statement was that this boy, the Dau-
phin, who was reported to have died at
an early age, and to have been an imbecile,
had not really died, but he had been sent
over to Canada and had there been reared
in obscurity under the name of DeRlon;
that he entered the English Army and was

LETTER FROM ROCK HILL.

Rock HILL, February 21.-Our farmers
are again delayed in their farming opera
tions by the heavy rains Of Saturday night
and yesterday, and the weather signal this
morning promises more rain. The cOntin-
ued wet weather is certainly to be deplored,
as the farmers have begun work with re-
newed energy, and think they propose this
year to try to conduct their farm work at less
expense than heretofore.
With all of Rock Hill's enterprises
cotton mill, banks, library, handsome stores,
churches and residences-she is still with
out high school. The academy is in di-
lapidated condition. Her boys, to receive
an education, have to 60 from home. This,
gence and wealth of her citizens.
The bad weather last week delayed the
workmen on the telephone line. However,
the line is completed to Massey's Store, (Tir-
zah) and communication between that place
and Rock Hill was opened on Saturday
afternoon.
The ministers composing the Chester
Baptist Association are holding conference
here this week. There are ten or twelve
ministers present.
Messrs. Frel Mobley and j. w. Wester-
lund have established sassafras oil mill on
Finley's Branch, just on the edge of town.
The oil is made from sassafras roots, which
are very abundant in this section.
The First National Bank received their
new bills from the government yesterday,
and to-day the president and cashier are en-
gagged in signing them.
A car load of hay was received at this
place from the West last week, and one or
two more are expected. I predicted last
Fall, when such quantity of hay was be-
ing sold in the market by the farmers, at
from one to two dollars load, that this
Spring they would be buying Western hay
at $1.OO per hundred pounds. Fifty-four
thousand pounds Of Western bacon was re-
ceived at this place last week. Cotton re-
ceipts were light. HAL.
